: Shrocked and Loaded
WoodyTX 06-05-2007, 09:47 AM Well, I got the full meal deal from Jim in Houston, and this stuff is sweet! The under armor simply rocks, and the rear bumper/tire carrier is a great design. I especially like the way the carrier has a a built-in bump stop before the tire hits the body. The sliders are rock solid; I jumped on mine (245 lbs) and they didn't even flex. They also make getting in the X easier. I've got a long torso, and now I can stand on the slider and enter butt-first, instead of sitting half-assed on the seat and ducking my head in.
Downsides:
The tire carrier pretty much has to be fully opened before opening/closing the rear hatch. I should get some rubber where the two might meet, before they do and bend sheetmetal. I don't see any other way to handle this, but it is a potential issue that I thought I'd mention.
I wish Jim had endcaps on the rear bumper. Visually, they don't match with the front, and they do reduce the departure angle a bit, especially if you're at an angle to the hill.

XterraVT 06-05-2007, 11:55 AM Are you running a lift on your X or are you stock?
Just wondering if after you had it all installed how much the front and rear sagged if any.
Congrats on the Armor

supercharged 06-05-2007, 02:52 PM Hey Woody, lets see some pics little fella!
WoodyTX 06-06-2007, 04:34 PM Gotta get the camera working again... I have a pic of the dash at slightly over 100 MPH that I want to post... Take that, old X's!! :D
I didn't notice any sagging; from what I can tell, I added maybe 400 lbs to the X, about 10%. If anything, I noticed a bit more of a "rocking" feel, front to back. I attribute that to the additional weight on both the nose and tail.
Now I gotta pull the flares and find some places to 'wheel...
Woody ("little fella"? I'm 245#!!)

Okay I will go first,
Before I found the love of my life I thought life was not worth living, she brought me joy I had never known before and probably never will without her.
When I go to sleep at night she is on my mind and when I wake up I can't wait to touch her and feel her and just be with her, she is willing to get dirty with me when and where I want, she will climb mountains for me so she must love me too.
So without further adieu: I love you Xterra.
PS: You have always been the one for me...there will never be another.
PSS: Well unless it is another Xterra but you will always have been my first!!

fatkid_UH-60 06-24-2010, 05:39 AM If an Xterra throws a chair at a Ford Escape for stealing it's roof rack ideas, and then a 2008 Cherokee walks in and wants everyone to drive around the mall, and the Xterra hits the Cherokee for wanting to do so, THEN it'd be Jerry Springer.

True...except you forgot the time when the Xterra had a one night stand with a FJ40 and created this:

Damn I accidentally waved to an Escape with one of those racks the other night!
It was dark, and I couldn't see the body!
I'm so ashamed!
fatkid_UH-60 06-24-2010, 10:14 AM I've done that lots of times with the Yellow ones. It's damned embarrassing
Snow Chaser 06-24-2010, 11:06 AM We need a support group for people who have mistakenly waved at Escapes.
